As I come across TVR's I still laugh at the names people give their cars, especially other members of the family.

What crazey names do people out there call theirs

Its alternately known as:

"The Beast" - when enjoying a blast
"The Tivver" - when being affectionate
"That F*****g Car" - when something is broken!

My car of german origin is never known by anything but the name of its manufacturer....

Obviously Jamer, you have either:-
a) been drinking too much , or
b) Had boring old git in-laws for Christmas like me and are so bored you have started this silly thread.


Personally I have never given a name to a car, but my Mum and Dad used to name thier VW beetles when I was a kid!!

My TVR was known as the Millennium Trog. Trogs were a species in a science fiction novel. Trogs were famous as uncertain travelling companions.

For my 3000S, I call it "Frankie" (cos its red and a little brutish)

For my Tuscan V8, its Black on Black and "Wolfie" has stuck.....
or "Wolf" if its working fine...

The Taimar I call "for sale".....

Jamer,

My new V8S (the one you guys briefly had in) has been christened 'the mistress' by my wife.

I call it 'fantastic'

Cheers,

For the same reason I call mine 'Sir' - because you have to give it respect.

I call 'er indoors' Audi TT the Tittie though People often wonder what I'm on about talking about Titties all the time.
